Ennis clearly wanted to end his run with a really big bang. Despite trying to awkwardly cram a few too many things into the story, the whole piece works well and wraps things up nicely. A far improvement than the sequence of pub-crawls and random drunken pissery that had been the previous issues that had come before and certainly far more cohesive than his American arc. A great way to close. I also liked the included Heartland story AKA further domestic adventures of Kit.

Read this as part of my preparation for the next RevolutionSF book club. The first part was OK, but having not read the rest of the series, I had some trouble connecting to the various characters. What is better in this book is the stand alone story at the back about family secrets and pain. That was excellent.

Absolutely. The. Best.
Garth Ennis is a masterful storyteller in the comic book genre. His Hellblazer stories stand out far above those of all others. His dialogue is real, down to earth, and relatable. His ability to tell the story through both dialogue and Steve Dillon’s wonderful art are perfection to be seen. Of all the comic book scenes I’ve read, is superbly written and displayed. As the two storylines converge, Everything about these scenes is PERFECT. Just. Perfect. The absolute best of the bunch so far, and the climax to John’s best storyline yet. I’m very sad to see Ennis and Dillon are done with the series at this point - they were perfect together with John.

John’s showdown with the DevilSpoiler
the dread settles in your stomach. You know what John’s going to find when he goes to Nigel’s apartment. The way both Ennis and Dillon portray the scene is just... well, amazing. The angles from which the cells are illustrated combine with John’s silence as Nigel’s death hits him to create a palpable climax. As the Devil extols his revenge on John, giving him his lung cancer back, you see the subtle details the artist and writer included in the pages. John’s always below the devil, eyes always shrouded in dark. As he starts to get the upper hand, he raises to be standing, his eyes twinkling. And when “Astra” shows up, you see the devastation written on his face.crowyhead's review against another edition

The Devil has finally hatched a scheme to revenge himself on John Constantine, with the help of a spectre from Constantine's past. Is this it, or does Constantine still have a couple of tricks up his sleeve?

The devil has had it with John Constantine. Especially considering the humiliating defeat he had to face in "Dangerous Habit".So, Satan works hard to make John's life unbearable what at the same time trying to get a hold of an archangel's heart. Satan does his very best but John, as always, is John
